Moffet's Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Unlike many texts, which are organized by disease or pathogen, this unique resource presents a problem-oriented approach to the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases in children.

All chapters are organized by anatomic syndrome and guide you through each step in the management process from classifying the patients illness to recognizing life-threatening emergencies, developing a logical differential diagnosis, pinpointing the disease, and treating the patient.
